How to be Badass (2nd Draft)

Demons! Demonslayers! One (1) traumatized saxophone player! A story about self-reclamation, grief, trauma, and living with mental health. This is a story about a hero. Let’s back up. Meet Allen–a fourteen year old boy who has killed thousands of people. Which… doesn’t sound very much like a hero, I’ve gotta admit. If I tell you that he does it while possessed by demons as part of a deal to keep his mom alive, then you’re thinking “What kind of messed up, anti-hero shit is that?” Well, actually you were right the first time: it is villain shit. It was his dad’s idea, Allen was five, and now he has no way out. Fortunately for Allen, a misfit gang of demonslayers kidnap him, determined to save first his victims, and then him. Over the course of the novel Allen might not become the chosen one, vanquish unspeakable evil, and reclaim the holy land, but he does reclaim himself, and that’s kind of the same thing. **THIS IS A DRAFT SO THERE ARE STILL GONNA BE MESSY AUTHOR NOTES EVERYWHERE! I HOPE IT'S STILL ENJOYABLE.
